Rewrite History: War Room

I've always been fascinated by history's "what if" moments. What if the Confederacy had better intelligence at Gettysburg? What if Napoleon had different weather at Waterloo? Traditional strategy games give you scripted scenarios, but I wanted something that felt alive and unpredictable. The breakthrough came when I saw how quickly AI models could generate coherent, contextual narratives. I thought: what if every player decision could trigger a unique chain of events, just like real warfare? What if losing sides from history could actually have a fighting chance? I spent weeks optimizing for speed—getting AI response times under 1 second was crucial because strategy games need to feel fluid, not like you're waiting for a chatbot. The hardest part was balancing historical accuracy with gameplay freedom. The AI needs to know that you can't just "invent tanks" in 1863 but should allow creative tactical decisions within period constraints. What excites me most is how each playthrough tells a completely different story. I've played the Battle of Gettysburg 20+ times and never had the same experience twice. Some players achieve miraculous victories, others go down fighting but in ways that feel earned and epic. This is my love letter to history nerds and strategy gamers who want something more dynamic than scripted campaigns. I'd love to hear which historical battles you'd want to see next!
